"Dragon Ball" is a Japanese series written and illustrated by Akira Toriyama. Dragon Ball was inspired by the classical Chinese novel Journey to the West. It follows the adventures of Son Goku from his childhood through adulthood as he trains in martial arts and explores the world in search of the seven mystical orbs known as the Dragon Balls, which can summon a wish-granting dragon when gathered. Along his journey, Goku makes several friends and battles a wide variety of villains, many of whom also seek the Dragon Balls for their own desires. Several companies have developed various types of merchandising such as a collectible trading card game and a large number of video games based on the series.
